At Universidad GBM, I design investment strategies around each client’s objectives and risk profile, manage diversified portfolios, and provide ongoing advisory and financial education.

As an independent CFD investor, I analyze markets, build portfolios aligned with my risk profile and objectives, and actively manage trades, leverage, and risk exposure. I delivered a 20% average annual return over the 2017–2025 period.

At Walmart de México y Centroamérica, I appraised fleet expansion projects and optimized capital investment. I also streamlined operational and logistics processes, contributing to an 18% ROI on fleet expansion projects, a $34M reduction in fleet maintenance costs, and $188M in increased profit margin across key merchandise categories.

Earlier, I drove growth of the business membership base across 130 Sam's Club units nationwide and assessed public companies’ internal controls for Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404 compliance at PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC). I hold the AMIB Figure 3 Investment Strategy Advisor certification and a Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt.
